Apple is launching CarPlay Ultra. The next-generation CarPlay is now available for new Aston Martin vehicles in the US and Canada. Existing models with the current infotainment system will receive the update in the coming weeks. CarPlay Ultra is designed to offer a fully integrated experience that brings iPhone functions directly to the vehicle displays\u2014including the speedometer, climate controls, and more. Other manufacturers such as Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis are also participating.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Apple CarPlay has been standard equipment in many cars for years. It allows you to use your iPhone safely and conveniently in the vehicle. CarPlay Ultra now goes a step further: Instead of appearing only on the infotainment screen, the system is deeply integrated into the vehicle. All screens\u2014from the central display to the instrument cluster\u2014can display content from the iPhone. The appearance remains individually customizable and reflects the car manufacturer's design. The goal is a consistent, modern driving experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deep integration into the vehicle<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CarPlay Ultra is fundamentally different from previous CarPlay. It's no longer limited to one screen, but can display information on all displays in the car. This includes maps, media, news, calendars, and even widgets with live information. At the same time, the system also displays vehicle data such as tire pressure or driver assistance systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the instrument cluster, traditional displays such as the speedometer, tachometer, and fuel gauge can be combined with digital content. For example, you can see navigation and media controls directly where only speed or fuel consumption would normally be displayed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CarPlay Ultra also controls vehicle functions. The radio, air conditioning, seat heating, and audio system configuration can be controlled directly via the system\u2014either via touchscreen, physical buttons, or voice control with Siri.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Individual design and manufacturer design<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

CarPlay Ultra is not only functional but also customizable. Car manufacturers can reflect the design of their vehicles in the interface. The visual design is developed in collaboration with Apple. Colors, fonts, and display layouts can be adapted to the manufacturer's brand image. You can also influence the design yourself. Colors and background images can be individually configured depending on how you want to design your vehicle interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
